Bobby Shew sent a link to a performance by a guitarist named Doug Smith. After listening to Smith’s introductory story about his dad, no former Marine could be expected to ignore the video. Anyone who can finger-pick Sousa’s famous piccolo part in “Stars and Stripes Forever†while also playing the harmony and melody must be taken seriously. This is an opportunity to see and hear a man who enjoys his work.
I must confess to having known nothing about Doug Smith before Mr. Shew alerted me to him. I learned plenty from his impressive website.
